JAY Gould,s railroad Ties.

NEW YORK. July 25-Jay Gould is not i'll, as
West merely of his many business
trips. The question Of railroad ties was only
an incident. 1t was true that more money had
been paid for these ties than they were worth
but this was through lack of Judgment on the
part of purchasing agents; not the result of
criminal collusion to defraud He said that an
accurate inventory of the ties the system had
been made. 1t was found that the amount paid
in excess of actual value is not more than
$50 900. instead of ST. 000 600, stated in the ST.
Louis dispatch yesterday. Young Mr. Gould
continued: 1.-The statement that officers of the
road implicated in the alleged swindle have been
discharged is utterly false. The only officer we
have lost lately is General Superintendent Ker-
rean, splendid railroad man, and with
whose services We disliked very much to part.
His resignation was entirely voluntary. as he
left TO become a contractor, in which business
he thought he could make money"

Tory Papers strive to Mitigate the Effect of
the Conservative Back-Down.
special indianapolis journal.
LospoN. July 25,-The Tory press are making
t-nnssndous and stultifyng efforts to mitigate
the Conservative back-down the land bill,
which measure one Of the papers declares was
given to the House merely sedstive. They
generally deny that the sudden revision of the
governments plans has weakened the position of
the Ministry. but in following their arguments
upon this point led into the admission that it
never would have done to have presented the bill
in such form as would have provoked
the hostility of the Upiopists. as such an opera
tion would have been fatal to both the bill and
the Conservative party. There is a strong
picion that the government has gone even
further in its surrender the Unionists than
the notifications of the land bill denote. 1t is
asserted that The preparation OF the coming
land purchase bill has been delegated to Mr..
Chamberlain and Lord Harrington, with the un-
derstanding that in return for the privilege
of framing the bill to accord with Unionist
views in the main, the Uniouist leaders distinct
ly pledge the support of the dissident members
to the measure. The Tories are understood to
be strongly of the opinion that such compact
is necessary to secure the passage of the bill.
In the House of Commons, in committee on
the land bil upon taking up the first clause, ex-
tending easers the benefits of the act of 1881,
Mr.. Parnell proposed an amendment The bill
as it stands gives the option to tenant or land
lord to make application to the court to fix the
rent.
Mr.. Parnell urged that the tenant alone should
have the right apply, the period of such appli-
cation TO be limited to three years.
Mr.. Balfour accepted the amendment with
limit of two years, Mr.. Parnell agreeing
Mr.. Parnell proposed to extend the operation
of the clause to all leases except those in per-
petuity.
Mr.. Chamberlain supported the proposal. but
the government opposed it, and it was negatved
-19l to 142.
A government amendment extending the term
to ninety. nine years was agreed upon.

Says the Parkersbnrg Sentinel:
There is a ramor, not traecable to
an authentic source, however, that
the republicans in tho q. S. Senate

Lucas or Faulkner to seat. This
proceeding, lit come to pass, will
be to meet a political emergency.
The senate is nearly a tie, Riddle

holding the balance of power. If
there be only one senator from
West Virginia the republicans will
have a reliable majority, of at least
one without RiddIeberger, and as it
is necessary, as they view the state
of affairs. to make some political
capital for the presidential contest
OF next year, they will seek an op-
Portunity to decide that neither
Lucas nor Faulkner is the legal
senator from this state.
Legal minds outside the senate
ridicule such a position as untenabIe,
but the legality of the proposition
is one thing and the political neces-
sites of the republican party is alto
gether another and different thing.
There is no reason for thinking the
senate viii arrive at such a conclus-
ion as the rumor referred to would
indicate, except the expectation that
the democrats would be thrown into
confusion, and perhaps lose the
state at the next election.
But there is such a rumor, and
there are some who believe it. Of
one thing, however, they may be GER
tain: West Virginia is just as sure
to come up next year with the usu-
al democratic victory as the election
is held, senator or no senator.

American girls who have had the
luck to marry titled foreigners are
now reported to be quite generally
sick of the bargin they have made.
The glamor of nobility, which is to
be. found only in titles and not in
character, soon wears off, and the
woman finds that her ideal hero is
after all the commonest kind ofclay.
1t is not strange that this should be
so. American girls are able to make
their way almost anywhere, but the
hardest task they could ever as
sumo is to satisfy nobIemen whose
most important hereditary charact-
eristic, bred in them for generations
is the belief that the world was
made for their especial benefit The
worst of it is, that when an Ameri-
can girl binds herself to these i'm
presentations of selfiishness she
thereby cuts loose from former ties
and associations. Many girls begin
to see this, and there is not the
same craze to marry counts and
mobiles that there was few years
ago. Our American simplicity is
more conducive to real happiness
than the fineries and follies of Eu-
rope.

Musn't Keep Bottles Laying

Putnam Democrat.
The case of the State VS.. Wetzel,
decided in the Supreme Court of APP
peals, is an interesting one.
John I'll. Wetzel is a Druggist at
Ravenswood. He was indicted for
selling whiskey. On the trial the
evidence was that man named
Parsons went into the drug store.
and after some talk with Perry
Wetzel, the clerk, laid twenty-five
cents on the counter, and going be-
hind got q pint of whiskey in u
bottle from among a number of such
bottles which were ready filled, sit
ting under the counter. John Wet
eel was not in the store. Perry
Wetzel swore that he refused to sell
Parsons whiskey, and did not
know he got any; neither did he get
any money from the counter if any
was left.
Wetzel was fined but took an APP
peal. The Supreme Court refused
to interfere with the judgement of
the lower court, and Wetzel will pay
the fine.
